Ultrafast ultrasound imaging for children's heart conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to see heart structure and blood flow in children with or without congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to improve imaging without risk, using a short scan during a regular check-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can be any age, male or female.
- You either have a congenital heart condition (CHD) or are generally healthy coming for a routine check-up, or have been diagnosed with a small hole in the heart (atrial septal defect or PFO).
- You must have a French social security number.
- Your parent or guardian must agree to let you join.
- You cannot have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), a heartbeat motion problem, a pacemaker or defibrillator, a clear space in the heart (anechoic), or an allergy to ultrasound gel.

This study uses a special, faster ultrasound to look at the brains of babies under 2 with congenital heart disease who need a heart pump. It aims to see if this new imaging can help doctors monitor brain health more closely.
This study tests whether doctors in the emergency department or heart clinic can use a small ultrasound device to check heart health in children who already have a heart condition. It also tests if artificial intelligence can help read the images. This may lead to faster and easier heart checks for children.
This study uses automated ultrasound measurements to track how a baby’s heart is working during pregnancy. It compares babies who have a specific congenital heart problem with babies without it, to understand what ultrasound can detect.
This study uses focused heart ultrasound to help doctors make better treatment decisions for critically ill children in the ICU. It may help improve care by giving real-time information about the heart's function.
This study tests a new digital method for analyzing heart ultrasound images. Researchers want to see if computer software can help doctors read heart scans more accurately and quickly.
This trial studies whether a newer, faster ultrasound imaging method can better assess areas of the heart that may not get enough blood during stress. You may be eligible if you have known coronary artery disease or are considered low risk, and if you can safely undergo the stress ultrasound test.
